  1. Great picture... I once drove down it by accident... the roundabouts are best... 5 lanes with everybody switching lanes. I was out of there very quickly. didn't care where to just wanted out...

  2. A Friday rush hour in June 1998... Pauline, I and our red 2CV were amongst 3500 other Citroen A-Series vehicles parked fully across the road... we brought Paris to a standstill. The gendarmes just shrugged... the Mairie had given permission! We then drove slowly round Paris... the Place de la Concorde was the best [there was ALREADY a bouchon there... roadworks.] I think someone missed a zero out when talking to the Maire... it was the 50th Birthday of the Deuche.
